88 miles of bargeable waterway crossing the England-Wales border, the Llangollen Canal is rightly famed for Teflord's ‘stream in the sky’, the vertiginous and barely-pronounceable Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The River Dee, connecting the Welsh Marches to Snowdonia, has some great rafting. The river and canal near Llangollen belong to the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley AONB, one of the finest (but less visited) landscapes in Wales. Offa’s Dyke and the accompanying national trail pass through. Highest point: Moel Famau (562m).
